i was way more interested in reading the comments. i think someone alerted the counting crows police cuz those people went ape shit. it seriously looks like someone said "pssst, this guy is dissing adam, come quick!"
i was never a huge counting crows fan. i definitely have no idea on the comparison. i have never heard that before or thought it. i do know that in my opinion that was a weird article.

edit to add: but i do think someone needs to make up buttons that say "The Long Winters: The pop rock band of choice".
(i'm an idea person. i'm lazy with the execution.)

Indeed!Thumbs up for your analytical skills, missus :)
IUt's great they want to defend their favorite band, but simply going "you suck!" and "worst article ever" probably isn't the smartest way to do so.
I too think it is a very biased article, but I happen to agree with most of what he says about CC (clearly I am biased, too :).

well look at that. someone did some sluething. :) so they are talking about it over there. i glanced at it but do not need to read it all. it's the same thing over and over and appears both sides can agree the guy did write a biased, and somewhat odd, article.

i would just like to state for the record that their cover of "big yellow taxi" is one of my favorite songs ever. still not a huge cc fan tho.

did you see the pics from way back when (not sure if you were on the board then) of me and my son in our "No You Are" shirts? they're from the sonic boom tour. i don't know where those pics ended up online.

i also thought of something to do with the "hey, i wanna" but i like your idea! :)

one of my other ideas was to have a shirt that says "I'm a pushover for The Long Winters".

Y'know, Carrie Underwood fans were torching Sean after a bad review, and the HD faithful didn't stand for it...

This is sort of a semi-irrelevent comment, but the idea of an artist trying to play to the tastes of an audience and failing (I have no idea and don't care if it's true or not for CC) reminded me of a great David Bowie quote:

"If I'm going to do something that could be provocative or artistically relevant, I have to be prepared to put myself in a place where I feel unsafe, not completely in control. I have no fear of failure whatsoever, because often out of that uncertainty, something is salvaged, something that is worthwhile comes about. There is no progress without failure. And each failure is a lesson learned. Unneccessary failures are the ones where an artist tries to second guess an audiences taste, and little comes out of that situation except a kind of inward humiliation."
